Sound quality is a little less full than on last year's model
Meaning it may not be quite as forgiving of bright speakers. Google Home control failed in our tests

The 1080 could use a few more HDMI inputs
Sony dropped the ball last year when they didn't include Dolby Atmos or DTS:X. They did not make the same mistake this year. The Sony STR-DN1080 has both features plus 4K compatibility, WiFi, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in and more. If that wasn't enough...

Scales only 1080p/24 video to 4K
Excellent audio performance and a unique feature set counterbalance a somewhat quirky and (in a few cases) slow user interface...

We were very impressed with Sony's STR-DN1080 AV receiver. With solid performance with everything up to Ultra HD Blu-ray (and operational benefits from pairing it with Sony's player, above) and the convenience of Chromecast Audio along with DLNA and Apple...

Great sound quality, Lively and punchy performance, Dolby Atmos & DTS:X support, Decent set of features, Price
No expansion possibilities, Build quality could be better, No backlight on remote control
The Sony STR-DN1080 is a great all-round performer that perfectly fits the bill for anyone looking for a decent sounding and feature-packed AV receiver than can also support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. We're glad to see that Sony have simplified the front pane...
Stunningly insightful and authoritative, Punchy, agile and precise, Hugely enjoyable and dynamic performance, Exhaustive features, Easy to use,
A backlit remote would be nice,
After a gap year Sony came back fighting, with all the specs boxes duly ticked this time. The addition of Dolby Atmos - as well as other cutting-edge features - makes the STR-DN1080 a complete AVR package for a now eye-wateringly low price of £429.Two yea...
